Dealing with challenges and stressors is an unavoidable part of our human experience, and it can certainly leave an unwanted impact in our life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I aim to look at the whole person, understanding how all the aspects of our lives come together to impact our minds and bodies. Healing happens when all parts of the person are aligned and integrated.

I take a holistic, strengths-based approach to therapy, working with clients to improve distress tolerance and emotion regulation, heal their nervous system, and strengthen core beliefs and values. I am passionate about working with females; in adolescence, young adulthood, and into their 30s. My therapeutic orientation draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and somatic-based practices. 

My goal is to provide a safe space for clients to express what is on their minds, learn beneficial coping skills, understand the mind-body connection, and build a sense of connection with themselves and others.

My name is Mollie and I am a licensed clinical social worker, therapist and clinical supervisor. After receiving my Masters of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania in 2014, I had the privilege of working in the area of international community development in Lesotho in Southern Africa. Since returning home in 2016, I have served in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings as both an individual therapist and team lead. I also serve as a board member for the Therapist Development Center’s continuing education oversight committee.

What brings me the most joy in my therapy practice, is joining with my individual clients to illuminate their inner wisdom and strengths to allow for more fulfillment and ease in their lives. My goal for every session is to ensure a safe and fun environment where clients feel respected and supported to be themselves. While I am trained in various evidenced based interventions, the magic is in the collaboration and creating an individualized plan that will work for you.

My work is mainly with individuals, adults, ages 21+, special focus on Military, Veterans and their family members, with a holistic, trauma-sensitive and strengths-based approach. My training includes, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), mindfulness-meditation, problem-solving therapy, clinical hypnosis, guided imagery, Gestalt Therapy, EFT (emotional freedom technique), and yoga.

Hi, I'm Shalman, and I help people find in themselves the strength and skills to reclaim their lives. Typically, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based methods in my practice, but I will incorporate aspects of Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Intersectional theory (including gender-specific lenses) and evolutionary psychology if appropriate.

My education includes Addiction Counseling, Psychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling from colleges in Portland. Over the past 19 years, I have received specialized training in medication-assisted addiction treatment, working with parents involved with the child welfare system, behaviorism, criminality, interpersonal neurobiology, ex-prison re-entry, Men's issues, and anxiety disorders.

Perhaps you are skeptical of therapy, for which there are some valid reasons, but the research shows that the biggest factor in someone feeling like therapy is helpful, is the relationship you build with your therapist. Give it a shot, and if we aren't a good match, I'll help you find someone who is.

Outside of my work: I am into music, camping, old movies and cooking.

Hello, my name is Lindsey Burke. I am a passionate clinician who is honored to walk alongside people in their healing journey. Life is challenging and messy, and you don’t need to do it alone.

I have my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Vanguard University and I am currently an MFT and LPC. I specialize working with teens and young adults, primarily working on issues with foster care/adoption, attachment issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, and identity issues. That said, I love all humans and am willing to work with anyone who is willing to do the hard work, because that’s what therapy is.

I take a very relational approach, empowering my clients to realize that they are the expert in their own life, and they have the ability to grow, heal, and choose different patterns— with the help and support they need.

I have a lot of experience working with individuals in the foster care system and working in residential treatment centers for individuals with mental health and addiction issues. My promise is to come, listen, learn and stand by your side; my request is for you to come with openness, honesty, and curiosity.

Together, I believe we can help you get to where you want to be.

I also have a very cute therapy dog named Bear :)

Born and raised in Oregon, "a coastie," I made my way inland for college, graduating first from Chemeketa, then a short stint at WOU before graduating from Oregon State with a couple of BA degrees. After myriad jobs around the Salem area, I started on my Master's degree at Portland State.

My clinical focus revolves primarily around DBT, Narrative therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, with some dabbling in other modalities such as Terror Management Theory. My clinical experience comes from Chemawa Indian School, Salem Hospital, Willamette Valley Hospice and here, at Stronger Oregon. I primarily do individual therapy and occasionally couples therapy, too.

My drive is to understand you as best as possible, and to find root cause issues for what troubles you. My hope is that we will both learn from the experience and be better for it.

I remember how mad I was the first time I was “sent” to therapy, as a teenager, to get “fixed”. I refused to speak to the stranger behind the desk and waited out my hour as I stared him down. Needless to say, it wasn’t very therapeutic.

My goal as your therapist is to meet you right where you are today, regardless of where that is, and to help you get where you want to be. I believe it is important to help others find their purpose, develop competence, and grow with integrity into the person that they are meant to be. Therapy is a partnership that requires engagement and action in order for change to take place. If you’re ready for change, I’m ready to support you!

History is important to learn from, but getting stuck in the past can be depressing. The future is also important; however, if we worry about it too much, we get anxious. It’s important to live in the present and figure out tools and strategies that make life, not only bearable, but fulfilling!

I am a native Oregonian who is grateful for this beautiful state and all the wonderful people I’ve had the opportunity to work with! My counseling journey started with a yearning to understand family dynamics which led me to a Psychology: Family Studies degree from Corban University in 2008. Between working and parenting full-time, I received my MS in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University in 2014.

I take a person-centered approach that is genuine, empathic, and that sees people in a positive light doing the best that they can. I view clients from a system’s perspective and use a variety of interventions drawing from, but not limited to, cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavioral therapy.

I look forward to meeting you!

Have you ever been walking down the street and been struck by the realization that every person you see has a unique story? Each person has happiness, sadness, loss, triumph, love and heartbreak. I believe that every person has the innate strength to become a happier, healthier version of themselves. Reach out and invest in you.

I believe in helping every person toward their potential and strength to achieve a state of holistic wellness. I believe that the most important aspect of a counseling relationship is the human connection. After establishing a mutual, trusting connection with my clients, I utilize an integrative approach, with a Narrative Therapy emphasis. Together, my clients and I work to achieve a unique blend of meaning-making, helping clients to make sense of their story, process what it means in their life today, and choose how to look forward.

I believe that each human being has a unique experience, and that with the right tools, they can work to become the master of their story. I have an empathetic yet realistic approach to counseling that helps clients get to the root of their issues quickly and effectively. I obtained a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2018 and have enjoyed being a vessel to help clients of varying ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, and experiences achieve their potential.
